DOTHAN — A months-long investigation by the Dothan Police Department has resulted in a manslaughter charge after a 28-year-old woman died from a fentanyl overdose late last year.
Police say the case began on Nov. 15, 2025, just after 7 a.m., when officers responded to a residence in the 200 block of South Idlewild Path for a report of a person down who may have been experiencing a medical episode.
When officers and Dothan Fire Department paramedics arrived, they found Jordan Marie Robinson, 28, of Dothan, unresponsive inside the home. First responders immediately began life-saving treatment, but Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene.
While inside the residence, officers observed drug paraphernalia and residue in plain view. Investigators later obtained a search warrant for the home. During the search, authorities seized several types of drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, psilocybin and fentanyl, along with multiple items of drug paraphernalia.
Investigators determined the drugs were linked to Jenne Clifton Adams, 41, of Ashford. Adams was arrested that same day and initially charged with drug trafficking, three counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana in the second degree and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
An autopsy was ordered on Robinson, and investigators received the results on March 3, 2026. According to authorities, the forensic autopsy determined the proximate cause of death was a fentanyl overdose.
Through digital forensic analysis of phones and computers connected to the investigation, authorities say they were able to establish probable cause that Adams supplied the fentanyl that caused Robinson’s death.
Adams has now been additionally charged with manslaughter involving fentanyl and was booked into the Houston County Jail.
“Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that has affected many lives in the Wiregrass region. Anyone possessing, supplying, or using this dangerous substance in our community can expect to be held accountable according to Alabama law,” said Dothan Police Chief William E. Benny.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Jordan Robinson as they grieve during this unimaginable time,” Benny said.
